AC Ernst and Arthur Young never met in life, but died within days of each other in 1948. However their philosophies lived on and, in 1989, were brought together when the firms they started combined to create Ernst & Young. The new organization quickly positioned itself on the leading edge of rapid globalization, new business technologies and continuous business change.
AC Ernst and Arthur Young would surely be proud of the result — a global organization of 190,000 people sharing their ideals and passion to help build a better working world.
